Guilford College Presidency

Dear Friends of FAHE:

I wish you well during these most difficult times, while also seeking your help on a very important matter.

As you may know, Guilford College is conducting a national search for its next president. Like so many small colleges throughout the United States, Guilford is confronted with remarkable pressures stemming from the demographic, economic and technological forces undermining higher education as we have long known it. It is crucial that the Guilford community rally to meet these challenges, and a critical part of its success will be finding the president that can lead Guilford into its next phase. If you are like me, you believe that such a person will be a highly talented individual who will lead in a Quakerly manner.

Following a discussion that Stephen Potthoff, Laura Rediehs, Meg Streepy-Smith and I had with Ed Winslow, the chair of Guilford’s Board of Trustees; I recently got in touch with David Hopkins and Harrison Hickman, who are co-clerking the presidential search. While meeting with David and Harrison, I offered FAHE’s assistance in identifying potential presidential candidates.

So, Friends, please read the letter that is attached below. If you are interested in applying for Guilford’s presidency, or nominating someone for the position, please contact David and Harrison at: succession@guilford.edu . Also, please circulate this email to those you know who might be helpful along the way. Together, we may be able to assist our dear Friends at Guilford.

Warmly,

Donn, Friends,

I just created a blog post to extend this search - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/cedrus-atlantica.html .

How about reaching out to retired Quaker College presidents, and possibly from the British Isles too?

Here's the beginning of the "Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends" wiki subject page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends - planned in all ~200 countries and in their official and main languages, for open wiki teaching and learning (eg teach to your Youtube channel about Friends, and wiki-add it to this page).

Dear Scott MacLeod,

You might check out Anthony Manousos, a very active Quaker who seems to get things done. Type Anthony Manousos into Goggle for more information.

Sincerely,

Peter Bien

Dear Peter Bien,

Thank you for your email. I think you and I may have met Anthony Manousos together at Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation sometime between 1987 and 1991, possibly around 1987.

I recall asking you whether you know or knew another Dartmouth Professor, John Kidder, whose family are friends since my childhood from Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts, to which I also traveled with Anthony Manousos, and other Pendle Hill student friends. His wife, Joan Kidder, lives in the Quaker Kendal at Hanover, and their daughter, Sarah Kidder LaBombard, may still work at Dartmouth. Do you happen to know the Kidders of Hanover, NH?

Thank you for your email.

Sincerely, Scott

Thanks. I am a member of a meeting with connections all over and also do some work for the AFSC so can send this out and about.

Go well

Dear Scott,

Small world! Yes, it was at Pendle Hill that I first met Tony Manousos. And yes, I did know John Kidder slightly as a Dartmouth colleague. He unfortunately died very young, in 1998. My wife and I also knew and know his wife Joan, who lives together with us in the Quaker-inspired retirement community called Kendal at Hanover, but we do not know any of their children. Joan is very well, as am I at age 90, amazingly. But we folks at Kendal don’t see much of each other right now owing to the coronavirus restrictions that have happily kept our community of 400 elderly people ENTIRELY FREE of covid-19 even though we are now surrounded by it in Hanover.

By the way, I spent half a week at Guilford College and delivered three lectures there in October 1996, invited by Max Carter (another person known by me owing to Pendle Hill) as the J.M. Ward Quaker Visitor. Such a beautiful place. I wish it well.

Sincerely,

Peter

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your email again. Were you a Friend-in-residence or similar at Pendle Hill sometime between 1987 and 1991? I was part of this community during this time, and as a student from 1987-1988, I traveled with Tony Manousos, Rob Spencer (a Yale medical student at the time), and (a Rev.) Liz (I think) Ross (whom Tony later married in California), and Gyllian Davies to Cuttyhunk Island over Thanksgiving in 1987, and we stayed in my family's place there - a fun but cold experience (since our house isn't winterized, having only a small wood stove - & possibly Tyvek wind resistant material on the walls under shingles, which helped with warmth a lot:). I last saw Tony in the Palo Alto Friends' Meeting about 2 years ago - it's a small world indeed.

Joan is a dear friend of mine, and I know their kids pretty well from having grown up with them on Cuttyhunk in the summers. Please give my warm greetings to Joan, when you next communicate. And I remember John Kidder quite well too from over many years on Cuttyhunk. I appreciate John's far-reaching knowledge of physics and his thinking in other ways, as well as his love of solitary striped bass and bluefish fishing, which fishing skill I think both sons' Johnny (in Vermont) and Jamie (now in Oregon) find occasional enjoyment on Cuttyhunk in now. So glad Kendal at Hanover has been Covid-19 free for all of you!

While I've never met Max Carter in person, I was just in a FAHE video conference with him, so in a sense we've met face-to-face, and appreciate, too, his knowledge in many ways.

I just noticed that you continue to teach English as an emeritus Dartmouth professor - https://osher.dartmouth.edu/get_involved/study_leaders/meet_study_leaders/peterbien/. I also taught in the OSHER program at the University of Pittsburgh some years' ago; small world indeed. I first became active with Friends in Pittsburgh, PA, where I spent my high school years, and where my father was a Professor and MD at the University of Pittsburgh.

Shall we explore putting forward Tony Manousos' name as a possible candidate for the Guilford College Presidency, - if he were interested?

Sincerely, Scott

to Peter, Joan, John, Janie

Peter, and All,

If Tony Manousos were indeed interested in being brought forward as a name for Guilford College President (in the manner of Friends' decision-making process), I just found 1987 Cuttyhunk and Pendle Hill fellow traveler, Rob Spencer MD's blog, and it turns out he went to Sidwell Friends' in the Washington DC before getting his undergraduate degree and MD degree from Yale, and he lives in Concord, NH -

Rob Spencer MD I see went to Sidwell Friends too - and lives in NH -

My father Gordon K MacLeod MD - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Gordon%20K.%20MacLeod%20MD and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_K._MacLeod - was also on the Yale faculty before heading to the DC area with his family to start the HMOs in the country (from about 1971-1974). And my mother, Jane, went to Earlham for a year, her brother, Ted Brown, and his wife, Mary, to Earlham for their undergraduate degrees, and their 2 cousins, brothers, John and Alden Briscoe - went to George School for high school, and all / most of them seemed to love the experience of Quaker education in so many ways. All of these family members are/were favorite relatives of mine, as well. And my father's younger brother Bruce became a Quaker in the Philadelphia area, was a student at Pendle Hill, and was of help in my becoming a student at Pendle Hill ~ all regarding Quaker connections, and Tony Manousos re Guilford College Presidency.

Sincerely, Scott

to me

Dear Scott,

It’s hard to remember lots that happened in the past, but I do have some records. These show me that I was a visiting teacher for fall term 1990 at Pendle Hill, and Friend in Residence later, in winter term 1998. I taught in Osher, previously named ILEAD, 5 or 6 times, starting in its very first year, 1991,

and ending (I fear) in 2013 with a course on Joyce’s “Ulysses.” I don’t teach any more. It’s hard work. I’ll mention our contact and your greetings to Joan Kidder, with pleasure. You’ll have a better idea than I have whether Tony Manousos might make a good president of Guilford. If you sounded him out, he might recommend other people better suited to the job. Is Don McNemar, whom I used to know, still around and able to suggest people? And surely Max Carter would have recommendations. So would Dan Seeger (email: dseeger8000@gmail.com; address, Pennswood Village B-107, 1382 Newtown-Langhorne Road, Newtown, PA 18940). Good luck. And keep healthy!

Sincerely,

Peter

to Peter

Dear Peter,

Thanks again for your emails. I thought you might have been bringing Tony Manousos forward as a possible Guilford College President candidate, but I read now that this may not be the case, and I haven't any sense that Tony's interested in this position. Am wondering if he may be quite settled in southern California, among Friends. Greetings to Joan. Here again are some of our contributions to extending this search - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/cedrus-atlantica.html .

Sincerely, Scott

PS As MIT OCW-centric wiki Friendly-inspired World University and School grows, and I get to be 85 years of age or so, in a few decades, I might explore moving from California to live at Kendal at Hanover (and to be close to Cuttyhunk in part too). Let's stay in touch about this as well.

Friendly regards, Scott
